--explanation--

A breakdown means a clear and simple explanation, often step-by-step. For example:

The breakdown of the schedule helps us plan better. — Splitting the schedule into steps makes it easier to understand.

Just to clarify — Jessica is not talking about a mental breakdown. That would mean being overwhelmed or stressed out. In this dialogue, it's a positive thing - she's thanking James for explaining the plan clearly.
